STATINS: MEDICATION OR CHEMICAL WARFARE?
We have not been active of late, due to medical procedures regarding my wife, plus the fact that I have begun to suffer seriously from statins; believe me, they are dangerous. Although it took a few years to become the nightmare that is currently overwhelming my system; destroying the use of both arms and legs, making it impossible to get sufficient rest in bed.
For those who are unaware of the aim of statins in the medical world; their function is to control cholesterol, therefore preventing heart problems. There may be evidence for this notion, unfortunately however, all it has done for the author, is to reduce me to a physical shambles; keeping my fingers crossed that I come out of this unscathed. Even my head is out of kilter.
The British press, for some years now, has been singing the praises of this wonder drug. However, in more recent times, voices within the the medical profession are now registering their doubts. Four years ago, in preparation for a carcinoma removal, the head of department went through the usual questions: "Are you on any medication?" When I mentioned statins, his flippant response was to point out that my GP would have been on a bonus for that. Apparently, now, vast swathes of the population is being encouraged to take them. This, from my point of view, is scandalous.
We have mentioned previously in these columns, the work of biologist William Donald Hamilton. His theory on medicine is that, by endeavouring to keep ourselves alive through medical treatment, we are in actual fact destroying the human race. Now that is truly an interesting theory. From what I recall, he suggested that only genes would survive, but that is where he lost me.
ONE WONDERS IF ANYBODY ELSE IS CONCERNING THEMSELVES ABOUT THIS SCAM.
